My new book, WE BREED LIONS: Confronting Canada’s Troubled Hockey Culture, is coming this fall. Hockey in Canada is at a crossroads. Over the past three years, I have interviewed current and former junior hockey players, as well as parents, player agents, hockey coaches and executives, team owners, legal experts and sociologists about hockey culture in Canada. Their stories are shocking and offer insights into so much about our national game that is broken. Yet there are reasons to be optimistic. I’ve also spoken to men and women who want to see hockey get to a better place and are working hard to help young players become the best versions of themselves playing the game they love.
